Docrafts Blogger Outreach program: Gorjuss Girl cards

Hi all

I am back with a sneak peak of Santoro Tweed which is the new Gorjuss Girl range released in September.

I was given one of the stamps sets to try out and i coloured with Artiste Watercolour pens.

I stamped on to an A6 card blank with pigment ink and coloured it in. I used a water pen to create a watercolour effect using the Artiste pens.

Docrafts Team July Blog Hop: Interactive Elements

Hi all 

Today I am taking part in the July Docrafts Team Hop and the theme this month is to add and interactive element to your project. So i attempted to make a spinner card.

 please hop along to the other blogs on the list to see what my team have been making

The mechanism is made from a separate sheet of card and you just cut a circle out of it and then take the cut out bit and cut a smaller circle out of it. When you stick it to the card only add 3d foam to the corners otherwise the spinner bit get stuck.

The Spinner is two pennies stuck together with a large 3d dot and a metal charm stuck to that.

There wasn't much space left on the card so i added small embellishments and paper strips to the edges.

I used the mini Gorjuss Girl decoupage that came free with one of the Creativity mag gifts.

Here are my projects for the Hop starting with a Gorjuss girl altered frame. Gorjuss is a modern take of Alice. i painted a cheap Poundland frame with DecoArt chalk finish paint and then rubbed Iced cappuccino metallic luster over the ornate bits. i finished the frame off with some paper flowers.

My next card is made using one of Rick St Dennis' digi stamps. i used the Stand on your head Cheshire Cat stamp and my coloured piece was used in the shop.

This Happy Unbirthday card was made using the free papers from the Trimcraft website. I used the vintage gentleman die set to create a stack of hats. You can get the free papers here http://www.trimcraft.co.uk/articles/free-trimcraft-printable-papers-and-cardmaking-tutorials
